FOREWORD 

THP",  architecture  of  Princeton,  with  its  beautiful 
natural  setting,  has  been  reduced  to  convenient 
portable  form  in  excellent  collections  of  photo- 
graphs and  in  small  portfolios  of  etchings  of  high  artistic 
quality;  the  former  means  of  reproduction  affording 
a  comprehensive  and  inexpensive,  though  necessarily 
commonplace,  record;  the  latter  a  record  of  limited 
scope  rather  beyond  the  reach  of  the  average  purse. 
The  need  of  a  pictorial  record  of  higher  artistic  quality 
than  that  of  the  photograph,  and  of  wider  scope  and 
less  costly  than  the  etching,  has  been  evident  for  a  long 
time.  The  set  of  drawings  made  by  Mr.  Belknap  and 
Mr.  Park  exactly  fills  the  gap  between  these  two 
methods  of  presentation. 

The  buildings  of  Princeton  framed  in  ancient  trees 
and  clothed  in  graceful  vines  lend  themselves  particu- 
larly well  to  pencil  drawings.  The  pencil  sketch  is  a 
sort  of  memento  each  of  us  would  like  to  make  and  take 
away  with  him  if  we  had  the  ability  to  draw.  With 
the  pencil  it  is  possible  to  accentuate  particular  aspects 
or  features  of  a  building,  just  as  the  eye  concentrates 
upon  them  and  to  eliminate  or  suppress  the  surround- 
ings.    The  sketch  seems   to  hold   fast  some  vague  im- 


pression  of  beauty  which  the  eye  has  caught;  while 
the  camera  takes  a  direct  impression  insisting  upon  the 
equal  value  of  every  detail  within  its  range. 

The  present  set  of  sketches  does  not  pretend  to  be  a 
graphic  catalogue  of  Princeton's  buildings;  in  fact  it 
omits  many  of  the  most  striking  "views"  upon  the 
campus  and  avoids  others  that  are  obviously  beautiful, 
but  it  succeeds  in  registering  for  us  some  of  the  less 
obvious  beauties  of  architectural  composition  and  some 
of  the  more  subtle  impressions  that  come  to  us  in  mo- 
mentary flashes,  as  we  stroll  from  building  to  building, 
and  are  the  less  easily  retained  to  memory. 

The  new  Princeton  is  becoming  justly  famous  for 
several  groups  of  buildings  in  the  collegiate  Gothic 
style  of  the  older  colleges  of  England.  The  drawings 
in  this  little  volume  give  due  prominence  to  the  grace 
and  dignity  of  that  style,  but  they  do  not  fail  to  recall 
the  simpler  charm  of  some  of  Princeton's  older  architec- 
ture on  the  University  campus  and  on  the  grounds  of 
the  Theological  Seminary,  or  to  remind  us  that  Prince- 
ton Town  has  its  lovely  bits  of  architecture  too. 

These  sketches  are  no  perfunctory  collection  of 
pictures  of  a  university  town;  they  represent  not  only 
the  artistic  observation  of  enthusiastic  students  of 
architecture  but  the  devotion  of  lovers  of  the  place  and 
its  atmosphere.  The  artistic  presentation  is  quickened 
by  the  sympathetic  touch  of  men  who  know  their 
Princeton. 

Howard  Crosby  Butler.
